BA Prospect Hot Sheet: It's Eloy's second straight week on this list. This time he's #1 and Jeimer also comes in at #6. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/prospect-hot-sheet-may-27/#P7WRmjvmSRJbPkof.97

I don't see why the Padres would want to trade Pomeranz. Edit: TT is too fast for me.

I just can't fathom how the guy who robbed Rizzo of a home run last series made those two misplays.

Starting against the Mets in place of the injured Alex Wood. Looks like it's only a spot start and Wood is expected to pitch against the Cubs next week. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15744839/los-angeles-dodgers-call-top-prospect-julio-urias-friday-start

I'm not sure why Detroit would give up on Norris just yet. Frustrating that Cleveland is competitive because I want Danny Salazar.

LSU and Florida are headed to the 13th in their SEC Tourney game. [tweet] [/tweet]

We need a trade veto in this league desperately.

I'm right there with you. Most of the starters at the upper levels are lower ceiling, but BORs have value, too. There are a lot of interesting relief prospects at the upper levels, though. Starters Wiliams (24) AAA - BOR Underwood (21) AA - MOR Blackburn (22) AA - BOR+ Clifton (21) High A - MOR De La Cruz (21) Low A - MOR (Elbow Rehab) Cease (20) SS Low A - TOR Hudson (19) SS Low A - MOR+ Relievers Edwards (24) - AAA Pena (26) - AAA Concepcion (24) - AAA Patton (28) - AAA Peralta (25) - AA Black (24) - AA Others could be added to these lists, but those are the ones that I currently consider having the best mix of both floor and ceiling. If you're willing to count Black, I'd include Paniagua.

Yeah, I'm very excited for Cease and Hudson. Please save us all from our glut of uninspiring starting pitchers. Any reports from AZ Phil on Hudson's velocity? It's really annoying that Oscar De La Cruz hasn't been healthy all season.

Love how causally you group Fernandez in with Teheran.

Seriously.

That's 7 on the season.

interesting that Raffy Devers jumped to the top 5 with a 60 wRC+ start to the season also that Joey Gallo corrected his discipline/K problems in a major way and essentially dropped from preseason ranks Is Gallo completely off the list and, if so, is it because of his promotion? That's a glaring omission.

Nice! Though it's important to remember Law was the most bullish media member on the farm this past offseason.

Those prospects aren't that good.
